Local Gymnasts Compete in Pink Invitational

More than 2,600 gymnasts from across the Mid-Atlantic states, including local Sylvia’s Gym from Perkiomenville, met at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia Feb. 22 through Feb. 24 for the Pink Invitational, which raises funds for Unite for HER, a breast cancer non-profit that provides programs and initiatives to educate women on breast cancer, and helps to empower and restore those who have been diagnosed.

In previous years, the Pink Invitation raised over $160,000 through team fundraising and entrance fees.

Unite for HER has developed four areas of outreach designed to make a positive impact in the lives of women and girls by supporting and providing breast cancer programs and initiatives that educate, empower and restore, according to the non-profit’s website.
